Chasing Spy Shadow goes back a long, long time, probably in 2004. By chance, I saw Matt Damon (the protagonist) and Spy Shadow. It was the second part of Spy Shadow, with a bright and fast rhythm, constant screen switching, and a close-fitting and relaxing background music. It took her less than 5 minutes to firmly attract me, I think At that time, even if there was a young girl in front of my eyes, I would
slap me resolutely and mercilessly , like killing a fly. Indeed, that is her charm. Please don't question my decision, Spy Shadow is indeed a superior work in spy war movies, action movies, or rhythm movies. Ingenuity and violence, intrigue and humanity, lust and freedom, and perhaps many more, Spy Shots still affects me to this day.
(Additionally, it’s not because of my naivety that I paid attention to this film in the second film. It was only then that I really started to think about and appreciate the film.)
Special reminder, if your IQ is not high enough, your emotional intelligence is not enough Strong, please read the movie review before watching the 3 series; if you haven't watched the 3 series, please watch the 4 after watching it, otherwise please don't judge
the rhythm and music of the prelude lightly The style of the film still inherits the advantages of the first three films. If you pay more attention to the background music of the film, you will find that many films and domestic espionage dramas have inherited or imitated the background music of the film. Spy Shadow 4 kicked off his long-controversial prelude. The initial picture is very exciting. Why is it controversial for a long time, and why is it exciting? Because we are all concerned about whether the plot of the story is immediately after the first three films. Let's start, is it Renner (Jeremy Renner, have you seen the Hurt Locker, that is the bomb demolition man) instead of Matt Damon to play Bourne, after all, Spy 4 is also called Bourne's heritage.
In fact, the new director Tony Gilroy made a joke for everyone, and the still image of Bourne into the lake at the end of Spy 3 flashed again, maybe he wanted to commemorate Bourne, maybe he wanted to prove that Spy 4 is still Spy A piece of the series. Indeed, ten seconds later, a new spymaster broke out of the ice lake, and the location indicated was the CIA's Secret Service Training Base in Alaska. I saw a bearded new face, and he was the No. 5 seed Aaron Cross (Project Harvest), the new protagonist of Reyna. The agent was originally a soldier in the United States. His response was slow and his intelligence could not keep up. Unfortunately, he "hanged up" in an air crash. In the play, Reina will tell you all about the fallen hero in a paragraph. It is such a soldier who survived the air crash and was dealt with by a high-level reviewer and was selected for the "Harvest Project". A person of his quality would definitely not be an excellent agent, so the high-level In conjunction with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and a military-backed Qiming pharmaceutical company, a drug that changes human DNA has been developed. The drug claims to improve human physical strength and intelligence, so people like Rayner take In order to become super agents, Americans are as savvy as their eagles, savage and sophisticated, more than the Chinese. This medicine can not only make ordinary people the talents that the CIA needs, but also can use these people to test drugs , so that the pharmaceutical companies can make more money in developing low-level versions of drugs after verification, and the CIA can also control the agents below through this drug. It can be seen that Renner gave his patriotism to the country, but was sold by these conspirators and capitalists.
Rayner's appearance in Alaska was originally a training program for an agent. He had to go through the cold mountains, uninhabited jungles, and hungry wolves to find the "red bottle" on the map, and then go to the "red bottle" he found. next destination. At this time, the plot of the story is still at the time when the "Guardian" reporter was killed. At this time, Byrne was still fighting against a small group within the CIA headed by Dr. Hux, but the director of the CIA in the United States was alerted in advance if Bernard Well, if you find out the matter, you will definitely bring out the mud. At this time, the harvest project is also a dark project, and it has an intersection with this matter, so the CIA and high-level officials must stop the incident with Dr. Hux, and the harvest project must be stopped. and clean up. The word “cleaning up” is really simple and practical in the United States. Since the order was issued, agents of the harvesting project like Rayner all over the world have received a small yellow pill. They used to rely on blue and green pills to ensure their physical strength and intelligence. If not, it will be quite "two". So after everyone received it, if it was a treasure, they ate her without a doubt. As a result, there were people all over the place who suddenly had nosebleeds, and when people fell, they died. This is cleaning up.
And Rayner, because he didn't get a small yellow pill in the rare Alaska, so until he reached the task completion point, he still hoped to get two colors of pills. At this moment, when Rayner was about to go out with the remaining agents, he keenly sensed that something was flying towards the station. Just as he ran out of the door to set up an early warning post, an advanced U.S. drone brought a missile with him. A missile was fired towards the station on its own territory in the United States. Fortunately, Rayner escaped the missile but was overturned by the air wave. When he woke up and saw that it was his own plane, he knew that The organization doesn't need him anymore, but his desire to survive tells him that he must live, otherwise what will we see!
Reina was very calm at this time. First of all, he knew that they all had GPS positioning systems on them. They couldn't dig out of the flesh for a while, so after a simple shelter, Reina found a good terrain. He hit the drone with his sniper. In fact, this behavior would be questioned by ordinary people, but it should be feasible in theory and practice, but it is extremely difficult. Since the protagonist took medicine and was beaten with blood, you still have to accept this. The effect of people adding medicine! So the U.S.’s own drone was shot down by its own agents. Rayner took the opportunity to return to the base to find out if there were any pills left, but at the same time he also realized that the United States is a very rich country, and it is estimated that there will be another in 20 minutes. A drone came over to kill him, of course, he couldn't keep fighting, he couldn't get away like this, only if he died and the evidence was gone, the top management and the CIA would be happy. So, Reina quickly trapped a wolf as his stand-in, and stuffed his GPS positioning system into the wolf's mouth. It was a perfect stand-in, and it ran so fast that the CIA people were enough to believe that Reina was Dodge missiles in fear and be unfortunate enough to be hit.
Of course, from Spy Shots 1 to 3, if the plot develops here, there is only one shrewd man, it cannot fully reflect the human nature of the hero and maximize the dramatic contradictions, so let's take a look at our heroine now. There are very few beautiful girls in the heroines of American films, except for a certain film, of course. This reflects the maturity of American movies, knowing that intellectual women and excellent acting skills are the foundation of the box office, that kind of bright eyes and kindness, that kind of microwave expression can only be experienced by men and women who have experienced the experience of monks. This is called professionalism. Unlike Chinese movies, where love plus horror plus violence plus bed scenes plus gunfights plus espionage warfare plus saliva military can make a film, I call it a hybrid (it seems that three words are more elegant than two words).
Not far, the heroine is on the scene, so is Rachel Weisz, who plays Marta in the film. Gossip about Rachel Weisz. If you want to think of this person, you must think of the "Mummy" series. She is the female archaeologist. At the same time, you can also think of the protagonist of the upper 007 - Daniel Craig, He is Rachel Weisz's husband. Hehe, it can be seen that this couple is very close to spy films. It is estimated that they can really act as husband and wife spies.
Rachel Weisz is a high-level intellectual in the espionage 4. She is a postdoctoral fellow in three disciplines including virology, almost surpassing the undefeated East. She is in the pharmaceutical department of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Work (didn't read the translation, it's about the same place), this place is the drug research and development site of the harvest project, they often draw blood for the agents of the harvest project and improve the formula of the pills, and since the top management decided to clean up the harvest project, like Rachel Senior R&D personnel like Weisz are also targeted, so when these group of senior R&D personnel gathered in an advanced laboratory one day, one of the R&D personnel was probably coerced by the CIA or beaten with some kind of chicken blood. The channel of the advanced research laboratory was blocked, and the massacre was launched inside. It is estimated that more than 10 senior scientists were killed (American scientists are really worthless, killing a lot of them, and they are almost invincible in the East). Don't be nervous after reading it, the heroine must be lucky to be rescued. At the same time, the murderer shot himself when he was injured by the security guard who broke the door and couldn't kill any more. Then the next day, the CIA fabricated the US laboratory killings. But the CIA, seeing that Rachel Weisz was still alive, continued its cleanup operation. When Rachel Weisz was about to go to her sister's house for a quiet period of time, the CIA's senior special team came to her home. First, a qualification interrogation and psychological comfort, in fact, they wanted to create a together in her own home. The illusion of suicide, and then the next day the media will publish the news that the female scientist rescued by the American laboratory was unable to bear the pressure and committed suicide.
Both male and female protagonists are authentic Americans, both are closely related to the harvest project, and they are subject to clean-up operations, and what makes them intersect is that Rayner needs to survive, and Rayner also needs pills, because he doesn't have them. It will be very "two". Therefore, after creating the illusion of death, Rayner stole a plane from Alaska and flew back to the mainland, and after seeing the news reports of the laboratory killings, he became more aware of the next steps of the CIA. After all, he is also engaged in this profession. . Therefore, a professional in the dark to deal with a professional in the light, plus taking medicine and fighting chicken blood, must have an amazing effect. Just when the senior agent planned to kill Rachel Weisz, Reina Confounding the situation with lightning speed, the following is the praise of the CIA standard fighting and small space shooting courses, and finally Reina won. Later, after he appeased Weisz, he immediately cleaned up the scene. Burning the house was a common method. Reina did it too, and then ran wild with Weisz. The two have formed a simple alliance now, they are not eloping, so the two have a fierce conflict on the road. Of course, in reality, if you tell a woman that you won't come with me, you will die without a doubt. It is estimated that many women have weak legs and burst into tears. Weisz was also very excited and conflicted after being informed by Reina of the consequences, but after Reina briefly analyzed the situation, Weisz's survival and unwillingness revealed the truth of the drug and completely formed an alliance with Reina. If you want to live, you have to rely on Reina, because this kid has proven it, and if he wants to continue to cover her, he needs to take medicine and blood, but she has no medicine, so she can only pass the virus in the end The law completely allows him to fight chicken blood forever without being restricted by medicine. So they chose to go to the Qiming Pharmaceutical Factory in the Philippines to solve this problem directly, and then went to another country to hide.
Like Bourne, the agent's ability to deceive is unparalleled, making a series of plans in a short period of time, including Weisz's new identity, and having to take her on a plane all the way to the Philippines. At this time, the fire in Weisz's room aroused the suspicion of the CIA's senior personnel who played Norton (Edward Norton, in fact, as a supporting role in this film, he can only be said to pave the way for the next 5.6 films), and eventually they all worried about Weisz She is a very latent guy. She thought she could handle 4 agents by herself and burn down her own house. After that, the CIA deserved to be the CIA of the United States. She even got the photos of the Canadian forestry satellite and found out that a man was helping. she. The CIA suddenly felt that things were complicated, until Weisz was not professional and cautious enough in the process of the airport, so that the CIA found the trail and found Rayner, and suddenly they understood Rayner and Weisz's intentions. (Actually, I was thinking, why did the two of them have to take the same flight? I think Reina knew that the CIA would definitely react quickly, so it would be reasonable to just get ahead of others.) Reina and Weisz just got off the plane. He went directly to the pharmaceutical factory in Manila, and fooled into it. He was infected with the virus in the shortest time, and then escaped in a hurry. In the small hotel, Reina didn't know whether it was good or bad because of the virus's reaction. At this time, a real man The human nature is reflected, Renner put 40,000 US dollars, a blank passport and a stolen watch (I don’t know what brand, but it must be expensive, and it also shows that Renner knows that it is not easy to make money now, and he can’t be too public, so he can only Taking advantage of fire and robbing, for the future, this just happened to be verified for the next picture, it is very necessary to buy a fast and good watch) I told Weisz, how great, Reina is obviously sincere, he is not simple The use of Weisz, he is using a long line to catch big fish, haha, if he hangs up, money is useless to him anyway, it is the same for everyone, but if he does this and survives, then this A woman can become his partner in a lonely life in the future. This kid is thinking about it when he is about to die. It seems that the effect of the small pill is really powerful. This plot is a detail. Weisz may feel that this young man is good at this time, and he likes it a little, so he will always try to find a way to save Reina.
At this time, after the CIA discovered their whereabouts, another XX project was transferred (I didn't remember the name, and I felt that the projects or plans in the CIA, like yam, were dug up one after another, one after another.) Asian agents (who played the Japanese samurai in Alien vs. Predator 2) go to get them, which is very similar to the Spy 3's Moroccan chase. At this moment, the Philippine SWAT is ready to arrest people, followed by the Asian agents. When I saw the fat SWAT in the Philippines who was charging, I knew that there were no SWAT in the Philippines, just like their poor performance in the Hong Kong tour bus incident, Wearing SWAT clothes does not mean that he can do something, so Reina escaped in an emergency, and Weisz happened to find something abnormal while shopping for medicine. After shouting to Reina three times to run, he also hurried to the Philippines. Escape from the alley, go to the roof, jump over the wall, and they are similar to Spy Shadow 3. Reina and the others used motorcycles to escape, and the chasing agents followed the Philippine police all the way. The particularly exciting scene was the motorcycle chase. I almost fell off the road several times, Reina pulled it back, and the chasing agent took the opportunity to hit Reina in the thigh, and Reina also shot the agent twice in a semicircle, and the chasing agent fell. It's very miserable, his face is seriously deformed, but he has to continue to chase and kill. I didn't expect that this guy is more serious than chicken blood, and he chased him all the way. Everyone always thinks that this ending is less enjoyable than the first 3 movies, but this result It's also normal, who said that the woman behind the agent can't kill other agents. In the end, the chasing agent was kicked in the wrong direction by Weisz, and hit the pillar directly with the motorcycle. The female killer who was kicked off a high-rise building in Spy 4 was an absolute accident in reason.
In the end, they escaped and went out to sea on the boat of greedy Filipino fishermen. Perhaps the reward was the watch. Interestingly, the watch was taken from the American leader of the Philippine pharmaceutical factory and used by the Filipino fishermen. Reina The cost of their trip to the Philippines is really cheap. The main cost is to stay in a small hotel. It seems that the agent's greatest skill is to take it from the local area and use it in the local area. Where do you get it or give it back, haha!
On the fishing boat under the warm sun at the moment, Reina and Weisz smiled ambiguous (the last two didn't even have a light kiss, I guess Reina was afraid that Craig would come over from 007 to join him, haha, does the lower part really have to be replaced? Craig came to the husband and wife to return the home), "Extreme Ways" then sounded, once again set foot on the endless road, towards the strange and unknown distance... During the shuttle in the dirty land, the vast world is alone... I wish Waiting in line for this, there are always opportunities in life, the same song, the same mood, the same movie, this is the spy 4.
The narrative of the story before this article is definitely not written in the order of the movie. According to that, I will It is estimated that readers, coupled with their unfamiliarity with the top 3 butterfly shadows, will definitely die. So the written text mainly tells you how to understand the film.
To be honest, Matt Damon was a classic in the first three films. He did not panic, the waves were unbearable, and the low-key and even a little stupefied expression made people think that this is the quality of a special agent. In the crowd are the real ordinary people. The Reina style reflects its human nature, with thoughts, weaknesses, and direct emotional expression. But if this film is faced by Byrne, it is definitely not a matter of simply fleeing to Manila. He must go directly to the CIA director and tell him, "You must be kind!" Maybe this is Damon and Rayner's story. The difference, Reina knew that in the face of the state apparatus and conspiracy, he still wanted to hide first. Throughout, Reina's performance is still in place. As for Norton's performance is better, I can only say that Norton is more eye-catching than Reina, but in this film, he plays a supporting role, and there are not too many character descriptions, just acting. All right.
As an actress, Weisz is generally more famous than the actresses in the first three films, and she has a larger proportion of the scenes. Her tension, panic, despair, fear, loneliness, hesitation, and hope are all in less than one. It has to be experienced quickly for the duration of the week. In reality, such an event can make a woman mature and become 10 years older. Weisz is directly in place in the expression of various emotions, and has an accurate grasp of the characters. He deserves to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Speaking of the first three Spy Movies, I think Bourne's characters are very comprehensive and outstanding, and the fourth one introduces two heroines and a key supporting actor Norton. In the expression of the characteristics of the character concentration, the spy 4 is scattered, and the casting is elite, which is different from the highlight of Damon in the first 3 episodes. This method is either prepared for the new episodes that follow, or the director is afraid of the cold scene. I have brought in some more celebrities to join in. In essence, the characters are still blended together. It is that Norton's play is not painful or itchy, and it is not used to the fullest. If he can also directly punch to fist and gun to gun, it will be called a new idea. And fun, looking forward to the lower Norton also showing his agent potential and skills.
The whole spy movie 4 is still a very good spy movie. The editing of the story is better, the pictures and effects are sometimes spectacular and sometimes delicate, the expression method is moderate, the relaxation is restrained, the characters' psychology and thinking are described clearly, and there is always a main line to guide, The editing is not as coherent and logical as the three films, and some viewers may not understand some details.
